Six federal prosecutors resigned this week over the Justice Department's handling of Renee Good and her case, and specifically the Justice Department's push to investigate Becca Good, who is Renee Good's wife, at the same time refusing to open an investigation into the ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good.

Okay.

First of all, your just reaction to that and what legal grounds do they have to just have such an asymmetrical and unusual pursuit in terms of their investigation?

I mean, just the Roberts court coming back to just make things just a little bit worse every single fucking time.

But six federal prosecutors resigning from the case.

These were career prosecutors.

One of them was the acting U.S.

attorney who was appointed by Trump and is involved in another case that Trump is really obsessed with.

But first, just what are the implications of the case moving forward if you lose like the six top people in the office who are supposed to be pushing the investigation forward?

Oh, that's really interesting.

I mean, also, if the whole point of the investigation is to have sort of the final word on what really went down, this is a great way to engender public confidence in the report.

Psych!

No, it's not.

It's like the very opposite of that.

Nobody is going to take this and say this is a genuinely nonpartisan, independent report that seeks to find the truth.

This is a tool for Trump to...

you know, act politically in his own favor.

Joseph Thompson, who's the acting U.S.

attorney for the state of Minnesota, who just resigned because of the way the DOJ was prosecuting this case, was also the lead prosecutor in the, I think it's the Feeding Our Future case, where 58 people were convicted in a scheme to steal $300 million from government child nutrition programs.

There are still 20 more defendants who are awaiting trial.
